Weathering Change

Weathering Change takes us to Ethiopia, Nepal and Peru to hear the stories of four women as they struggle to care for their families, while enduring crop failures and water scarcity. As the world’s population hits 7 billion in 2011, the film shows how women and families are already adapting to environmental challenges that threaten their health and their livelihoods.

Weathering Change documents how family planning, girls’ education, sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation are part of the solution. The film calls for expanding access to contraception and empowering women to help families and communities adapt to the effects of climate change.
